Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 289
Fortunately, because of only one wave, the ice on the hull greatly enhanced the stability, and the steel keel strengthened the hull structure, the damage of Odin was much smaller than expected.
The bow mast that suffered the most severe impact was broken, but it was not a big problem. If the mast was gone, it would be gone. Anyway, the power of Odin was not the sail, but the thermal engine.
There are many damages on the first deck, but they are not serious. It is easy to repair. The cabin is seriously flooded and in a mess. Many things are scrapped. It takes a lot of manpower and time to clean up.
As for casualties, as many as 16 people were slightly injured, 6 seriously injured, and one more Unfortunately, he disappeared.
The missing man was a sailor who was working on the deck when the huge wave hit the top. As a result, he was washed into the sea by the torrential flood.
Renault didn''t even care about the bodies of butterfly fish. He decided that the police station had a magic boat to search the nearby sea. He himself went to the battle and searched underwater for several hours.
Unfortunately, nothing was found, so the man named "Neil" disappeared into the vast sea.
This is Renault''s first loss of life.
This will never be the last example. In the foreseeable future, more people will fall to their posts. Perhaps it is more accurate to use "martyrdom" to describe it, or even die for him.
Then Odin temporarily organized a brief sea burial ceremony, which was presided over by Renault himself.
After he made a brief speech, several sailors packed part of Neil''s remains in a small wooden box. Then, with the attention of the sailors, the wooden box was thrown into the sea and gradually went away with the waves.
This practice can be understood as using "remains" instead of "remains", or as "using a decent looking method" to clean up unnecessary items.
Renault is more inclined to the latter. According to his understanding, the so-called "sea burial ceremony" is essentially to achieve the purpose of "throwing corpses on the spot" in a seemingly tender way.
On the contrary, as an absolute pragmatist, he thinks it is necessary.
In case of accidental death on the voyage, the space on the sailboat is limited and the necessary conditions are lacking. It is impossible to keep the corpse for a long time. Once the temperature is slightly higher, the corpse will rot.
Would you like to be in the same boat with a stinking corpse?
It''s a fool who wants to.
The practice of keeping corpses will not only greatly worsen the living environment, but also lead to some disastrous consequences, such as the spread of pathogens or plague.
Therefore, the most appropriate way is to cast the body on the spot at the first time.
For the benefit of the living, there is no need to worry about the face of the dead. In any case, the dead do not need or care.
As for the ceremony itself, Renault believes that it is essentially a way to alleviate the "guilt of the corpse thrower".
You see, we sincerely expressed our nostalgia for the dead at the ceremony, as well as our sincere respect. Don''t blame us for abandoning the dead body
Anyway, it''s cool. Even if the body is chewed clean by some sea fish or sea monster, it won''t hurt
Therefore, the real function of the ceremony, which is called to comfort the dead, is to comfort the living.
Is it funny?
Human nature is so ridiculous!
Of course, this is full of dark and malicious speculation, just Renault''s idea, other people don''t think so at all.
Not only that, Renault''s series of actions have made his morale somewhat low due to encountering Warcraft level sea monsters, restored his high state, and even nearly burst.
this group of woodlouse agreed that Neal''s death was a glorious death.
Is it not an honor for your Lord to take part in the search and rescue personally?
Isn''t it an honor for the Lord to preside over his funeral in person?
Neil, it''s worth dying!
All of them thought that if they had misfortune, would the Lord do the same?
Of course!
With the buttocks think know, benevolent and great lord certainly will do for Neil, complete again.
What''s more, at the ceremony, the Lord himself announced that Neil''s family would receive a one-time pension of 20 jinnals, and his children would receive a special subsidy from the administrative department every month.
And, until you''re 16 years old!
Moreover, as a martyr who died on duty, Neil''s family will be given priority to employment in the factories under the administrative department.
Look how well the LORD said, "martyr", Neil, the unfortunate guy, fell into the sea and drowned. He turned into a martyr.
The sailors knew very well that these words were not meant for Neil. How could Neil hear them when he was too cold to die?
This is clearly meant for everyone.Tut Tut, with 20 Kinnard''s pension, your Lord is indeed the most generous Lord in the world. Neil''s family has made a fortune
Although I don''t know what the special subsidy is, according to the Lord''s usual style, it must be a very practical and generous gift. It''s really a monthly gift
It''s so enviable.
Neil, it''s worth dying!
After Renault read out the pension policy, he was extremely satisfied to see that all the people became fighting like ten tubes of chicken blood.
, he could not help but sigh. These woodlouse are the most lovable people. 20 Kinnear can buy a life. It is really too cheap. The fleet can make a random trip to the sea, and Kinnear can earn hundreds of lives through trade.
There is a saying in the earth proverb that since ancient times, the routine can not be retained, only the interests move people''s minds. This is indeed a wise saying.
As long as you are willing to pay enough benefits, you can reap the reputation of generosity and the loyalty of countless people!
On the cool and windy deck, Renault gazed at the "giant" magic crystal three times the size of his head. His eyes narrowed with laughter. It was the biggest magic crystal he had ever brushed since he crossed.
Yes, giant!
Renault is sure that the magic crystal with such amazing volume is a rare treasure in decades.
He also clearly sensed that in addition to the high concentration of magic energy, the magic crystal also contains a lot of water elements.
Big money!
This kind of extremely high quality magic crystal, even if the bidding price of several million jinnals, has a lot of people scrambling to bid.
But Renault won''t sell it.
Are you kidding? This is the magic crystal produced by Warcraft!
The ordinary supernatural can only deliver vegetables to the butterfly fish, and the more powerful upanists can hardly kill the butterfly fish. This crafty and insidious Warcraft will definitely run faster than a rabbit in the face of a powerful enemy. In the marine environment, no one can catch it.
If Renault didn''t deliberately throw himself into the net, I''m afraid he couldn''t help it.
In addition to this magic crystal, his magic power and mental power have both increased by nearly 30%, which can be called a rapid development. If you use element meditation and practice step by step, you can accumulate so much magic power in at least five years.
At this time, on the sea not far away, the iceberg made by Renault has been "removed", the body of butterfly fish is completely exposed, and dozens of sailors are working hard around the body.
They will be responsible for decomposing the body of butterfly fish, and the magic crystal in Renault''s hand is their first result of labor.
Phalaenopsis is more than 30 meters long and weighs as much as 200 tons. There will be a huge amount of materials available from it. This is definitely a huge harvest.
In the distant sea, eight magic boats are shuttling in the waves. Their task is to collect flying fish captured by the Lord.
Renault killed more than 6000 flying fish, with a total weight of at least 300 tons. These flying fish are enough for sailors to be busy for a long time.
